Things I like about Spring by Ha Yuan:- Veg options are clearly marked- Food is prepared on the spot- No MSG (I get dizzy with MSG)

I got Mapo Tofu and Tofu, Mushroom, and Chives Dumplings. Not pictured here, but other vegan options are Vegetarian Machang, Veggie Loaded Lumpia, and a few bean-based desserts.

What I don't like about the place:- Promoting "happy meat". There is no such thing. No animal willingly gives up his or her life to be brutally slaughtered for food. (Please watch Earthlings at www.earthlings.com).- Beheaded chickens hanging openly at the restaurant. I know many places do this. I dislike all of them. It contributes to desensitization. Imagine a beheaded infant hanging upside down in a restaurant and people not taking any notice. Yes, that is what I mean by desensitization. We don't see what's wrong with it anymore because we made it "normal".

Spring by Ha Yuan is located at the Ground Floor of BSA Mansion in Benavidez Street, Legazpi Village, Makati City. Open Mondays to Saturdays.
